Kramer is featured in many jewelry books and was chosen to be Christian Dior's US manufacturer in 1950's. Beautiful designs and prong set Austrian crystal rhinestones make these pieces sparkling beauties desirable to collectors. Kramer was founded by Louis Kramer in 1943, and the business was closed sometime around 1980. While the style of the jewelry changed with the times, the quality of the pieces is always excellent, with stones almost always being prong set.

Description: Kramer of New York Domed Golden Topaz and Clear Rhinestone Brooch - Late 1950's cocktail style brooch done with huge golden topaz rhinestone dentelles and clear rhinestone baguettes in a domed wheel design. Eight 11mm dentelles make up the outer circle of the bottom layer, with a topaz rhinestone floral motif at the center which is somewhat hidden, though you can see it from the side view and see the outer stones from the top view. Curved baguette set spokes center around a single topaz dentelle. Silvertone setting, 1 3/4" in diameter and a whopping 3/4" deep. Excellent condition.

Excellent condition, I see no issues whatever.

Description: Kramer Intense Light Sapphire Bracelet - This would be a pretty typical rhinestone bracelet from the 1950's, except that the blue stones used are much nicer and more sparkly than the usual ones; in fact, these have the same intensity that faux alexandrite stones have, but I cannot get these to do the usual color change that is found in that stone. Considering Kramer did do faux alexandrite pieces, I am surprised that they aren't. Nonetheless, if you are looking for a blue bracelet with lots of sparkle, this will do the trick! Excellent condition, silvertone setting, 7" x 1", this uses a push in v-clasp; back is marked Kramer of NY on the insert part of the clasp. All stones are prong set, with a center row of 14 large rounds.

Description: Kramer Multi Colored Leaf Brooch - Lovely jeweltone stones in various shapes and colors, all unfoiled and prong set in goldtone. Extremely interesting design and finish, with dished out channels between stones and a stirated finish. Much nicer in person than my picture (lighter color on right hand side is a lighting reflection), this is in pristine condition, 2 3/4" x 1 7/8". Marked (c) Kramer, this modernistic looking piece is probably from the 1960's.

Description: Kramer Multi Pastel Trembler Cat Pin - If you love cats, this is a great piece. Done in a variety of colors and round, oval and teardrop shapes, this cool cat is in goldtone and has a spring on the back to make the head tremble. 2" x 1 1/2", excellent condition. Apparently this design was done in a variety of colors, but I like this one best because it goes with so many clothing colors.

Description: Kramer "Julianaesque" Necklace/Bracelet/Earrings Demi - Though I do not think these are D&E manufactured pieces, stylistically the use of crystal beads over the top of rhinestones certainly conjures up some of the nicest of the Juliana pieces. These well-made pieces use prong set navette and round clear rhinestones, accented with crystal aurora borealis beads and pave set wings and swirls. Goldtone settings; the only piece that is marked is one of the clip earrings (see photo below) so it is easy to see why if these pieces were separated that the necklace and bracelet would be difficult to i.d. Adjustable necklace is 15 1/4" fully extended, 1" at widest point. Bracelet is 7", about 3/4" wide, foldover clasp. Clip earrings are 1 1/4" x 5/8". Other than a little stone darkening on the tips of the marquises on the earrings, I see no issues. Lovely, sparkling set.

Description: Kramer Black and Clear Rhinestone Bracelet and Earrings Set - Extremely well made with all stones (and there are many) prong set. 8mm black rounds are multi prong set, with tiny clears bordering and a row of slightly larger clears in the center of the bracelet. Bracelet is about 7 1/2" wearable length, 3/4" wide, with push in rhinestone set v clasp and safety chain. Clip earrings are 1 5/8" x 7/8" at widest point. Silvertone setting, excellent condition. Everything points to this as being a higher end 1950's set. All pieces are signed Kramer. Very wearable, with today's emphasis on black as either the main color or an accent color in a high percentage of clothing, you will find this a frequent "go-to" set.

Description: Kramer "Barberpole" Clear Rhinestone Earrings - These were sparkly enough that the camera simply didn't know where to focus on the first shot, please see the lower picture for a better idea. Individual pronged rhinestones are set in a curved line over a cylindrical frame - please note these aren't rhinestone chain, but actually individual stones that go entirely around the 3-D cylinder design. The cylinder then is attached to a metal frame to hold it to the clip part. Signed Kramer on the ear clip mechanism, which has a keyhole top. 1 1/8" x 3/8" x 1/2" deep. I believe I saw the matching necklace online once and it was pretty incredible. A rare design for this company.

Description: Kramer Netted Blue Rhinestone Earrings - One of the unusual types of things this company did was to put various colored (usually black) netting over stones in a design, giving them kind of the look of a (hair) snood. Light blue sapphire rhinestones are used throughout, with only the larger rounds being netted. There is aging to most of the stones, but between the netting and the fact that the stones are set in an antiqued dark silvertone, makes it all blend together beautifully. 1 1/4" x 1", clip mechanism is signed Kramer. Apparently the light blue is one of the most difficult to find color of this genre of Kramer.

Description: Kramer of NY Aqua and Clear Rhinestone Earrings - Layered clip earrings use an inner row of clear round rhinestones, a higher layer of rectangular and pear shaped clears, a rim of aqua rounds and pears and an outer rim of aqua rectangular and clear rounds. Silvertone (rhodium?) plating, top quality clip finding (the best I have ever found). 1 3/8" x 3/4" x 3/8" deep. One clear round has clouded a little, and slight plating wear at contact points, otherwise excellent.

Description: Kramer Faux Alexandrite Brooch and Earring Set - One of Kramer's top collectibles is the color change stone pieces that we can faux alexandrite, which usually go from light sapphire blue lavender depending on whether your light source is fluorescent, incandescent, halogen or whatever. My pictures really don't do justice to this phenomena but I think you get the idea. The larger rounds in the brooch and the center rounds in the earrings are dentelle cuts for extra sparkle. Brooch is about 1 1/2" in diameter and higher in the middle, about 3/8" deep. Earrings are clip with the superior clip mechanism that Kramer often used, not quite an inch in diameter, and also slightly raised in the center. All pieces marked. One round is slightly cloudy, otherwise excellent condition.

Description: Kramer Translucent Fruit Salad Necklace and Earring Set in Pale Yellow - I have also seen this set in green; MUCH prettier, in my opinion, in yellow. Technically this may not be fruit salad as the pieces are not fruit but flowers and leaves, and the glass stones are not opaque but translucent, with almost an adularescene to them. Silvertone plating, both necklace and earrings are dotted with small rhinestones that add a subtle sparkle, about 4 rhinestones for every six glass floral/leaf pieces. Necklace is adjustable with hook and chain closure and has twenty separate links, earrings have clip backs. Necklace will fit up to a 16" neck; earrings are 1 1/4" x 3/4". Much lovelier in person than my photos convey.

Description: Kramer Dichroic Light Sapphire Necklace - Faux Alexandrite is probably the more proper term for these rhinestones; like real alexandrites, they change colors, but instead of red to green, these change from light sapphire to lavender depending on your light source. Many companies used this stone in the 1950's-1960's but Kramer became the best known, and they did it WELL. Set in goldtone (as opposed to the usual silvertone), this alternates larger and smaller dentelle cuts that are some of the most lovely stones I have seen. Multi-prong set, this alternates 6mm with a whopping 11mm stones along almost the entire length of the necklace, finishing with 5.5mm rhinestone tail. Even the adjustable hook clasp is rhinestone set. 15 1/2". I can find no flaws. Fit for a queen.

Description: Kramer Blue Green Domed Brooch - This piece features three oval bi-colored speciality stones, unusual because they are unfoiled and combine the colors of chartruese and turquoise (these stones are referred to as "Sabrina"). Around the perimeter are round stones of the same color alternating with royal blue navettes. Larger rounds and dark aurora borealis rhinestones alternate with the large ovals. About 2" in diameter and 1/2" deep. 1960's color combinations are once again in favor!

Description: Kramer of NY Jonquil and Topaz Rhinestone Bracelet - This features a rigid center with flexible sides for an excellent fit and look. Because of the rigid portion it was difficult to measure but should fit a 7"+ wrist. Absolutely a stunning sparkler in the tradition of the top of the line pieces this company made. Brass setting (underside is quite worn); a few marquises were replaced because of chipped tips but you will have great difficulty telling which ones. Gorgeous piece.
